Scheduled
Day 2, 9:45 / Day 2, 11:00
Presentation summary
Purpose :
The author has been using a combination of acupuncture and following application of collagen MD-injections by GUNA Company, Italy (MD – Medical Device), in his daily practice since 2010. This approach has increased the resulting effect of the therapy by 20 – 30 % based on VAS.
Methods:
After acupuncture is finished, collagen injection is applied in affected areas.
Analysis:
Collagen is the main component of ligaments, tendons, bones, cartilage, skin and extracellular matrix.
MDs are injected locally in order to replace, strengthen, restructure and protect tissues of musculoskeletal apparatus, to improve anatomical structure and function of collagen fibres and the structure containing them and, at the same time, to provide mechanical support to areas involved.
Conclusions:
By restoring and reinforcing damaged anatomical structures, Collagen MDs improve mobility and functionality and act directly on the pain.

Presentation summary
Purpose :
The workshop will focus on the practical use of biodermal threads in daily practice. The theoretical basics will be presented very briefly. This method complements acupuncture in the treatment of musculoskeletal disordersusing them in those cases where acupuncture has less effect or limited possibilities in certain areas of the musculoskeletal system. The application of the injections and threads will be shown in photographs and videos.
The use of biodermal threads is well-known in aesthetic dermatology. They have started to be used in thetreatment of pain in the last ten years. The method can be combined with acupuncture or instead ofacupuncture. The method is also called Threads Embedding Acupuncture. The threads are applied with specialneedles. After embedding of threads the initial inflammatory phase is formed first, followed by the proliferativephase, when fibroblast activation, angiogenesis and synthesis of collagen occurs. Threads are produced from Polydioxanon (PDO), a totally absorbable natural material. The results of the treatment appear to the author to be very good.
